セイコー ロードマチック スペシャル 5216-6030 3面カットガラス
Tax Excluded
セイコー ロードマチックは1968年に発売され、1970年代にビジネスマン向けに非常にヒットしました。
グランドセイコー(GS)、キングセイコー(KS)に次ぐセイコー第3の高級ラインとして誕生したロードマチック、当時の初任給の半額ほど、今でいうと10数万円で販売されていたにも関わらず高級機に劣らない機能性、実用性を兼ね備えていたというのがその理由です。
また、ロードマチックはGSやKSには殆ど無いカラーダイアルやカットガラスのタイプなど、バリエーションが豊富に存在します。
この時計は側面の曲線が美しいデザインのケースで、35mmとロードマチックの中では小ぶりな部類に入ります。
文字盤は斜めに交差した絹目模様のシルバーダイアルに、幅広のバーインデックスという組み合わせ。
インデックスが真ん中で割れて谷のようなデザインになっているのが面白いポイント。
また、風防が3面カットガラスとなっていることも大きな特徴で、角度によってキラキラしており、ダイアルの見え方も変わります。
搭載ムーブメントは自動巻きのCal.5216Aです。
ロードマチック(LM)には諏訪精工舎(現セイコーエプソン)の56系と言われるCal.56xxのムーブメントが搭載されますが、このLMスペシャルのムーブメントは亀戸の第二精工舎(現セイコーインスツルメンツ)製です。
そのため、スペシャルと名は付いているものの搭載している機械の系統が違うという、非常に興味深い時計です。
曜日、日付ともにリューズを引き出してのクイックチェンジが可能です。
上に回すと日付が、下に回すと曜日がチェンジします。曜日は日本語/英語の切替が可能です。
現行のセイコー製機械式時計はこの方式を採用しており、その基礎となった時計とも言えます。
新品販売時に付属していたロードマチック用の純正ブレスレットが付属します。
オーバーホール済み。6ヶ月保証となります。

This watch is called the Lord Matic (LM), which was Seiko’s third luxury line after the Grand Seiko (GS) and King Seiko (KS).
The Lord Matic was launched in 1968 and became a very big hit for businessmen in the 1970s.
The reason for this is that even though it was sold for about half the starting salary at the time, which is more than 100,000 yen today, it had the same functionality and practicality as the high-end models.
Another feature of the Lord Matic is that it is available in a wide range of variations, such as colored dials and cut glass types, which are rarely found on the GS and KS.
This watch has a beautifully designed case with curved sides, and at 35 mm.
The dial is a combination of a silver dial with a diagonally intersecting silky pattern and wide bar hour markers.
The interesting point is that the indexes are split in the middle, creating a valley-like design.
Another great feature is that the windshield is made of three-sided cut glass, which glitters and changes the way the dial looks depending on the angle.
The movement is the automatic Cal.5216A.
The Lord Matic (LM) is equipped with the Cal.56xx movement, which is called the 56 series of Suwa Seiko (now Seiko Epson), but the movement of this LM Special is by Daini Seiko (now Seiko Instruments) in Kameido.
This is a very interesting watch because the name “Special” is attached to it, but the mechanical system is different.
Both the day of the week and the date can be changed quickly by pulling out the crown.
Turn it up to change the date, and turn it down to change the day of the week. The day of the week can be switched between Japanese and English.
The genuine bracelet is included.

About Complete Service
Complete service, sometime called overhaul is the work of disassembling a mechanical product down to its individual parts, cleaning and reassembling it to bring it closer to its new state of performance.
Roughly speaking, the overhaul procedure is as follows.
1. Separate into case and movement
2. Disassemble the movement
3. Inspection and pre-cleaning of wear condition of each part
4. Wash parts with a special machine
5. Lubrication and assembly
6. Waterproof test
7. Final adjustment and running test.
Some movements are made up of hundreds of parts, but it is a very meticulous process of disassembling them one by one, inspecting them all, cleaning them, and reassembling them.
If you don't overhaul, the oil will deteriorate just like a car, and the risk of wear and damage to parts increases, causing a decrease in accuracy and, in severe cases, not working.
There is also the reason that it will be very expensive to replace parts after they are found to be damaged, so we recommend overhauling once every 2-3 years for economical and long-term use.
About Polishing
Vintage watches have been used for decades, and even the stainless steel used in many watches has rounded corners that were originally sharp, and has many small scratches even though the mirror finish should be beautiful. state.
At Arbitro, some watches are sold with a new finish, based on the idea that you can purchase them in beautiful condition and use them for a long time.
In particular, gold-cased dress watches are finished to bring out the best of the precious metal case.
The watches sold by us that have been given a new finish are shot in very high definition, so you can see that the edges stand out and the light is reflected by the mirror finish.
Also, depending on the case or bracelet, there are cases where multiple finishes such as mirror finish and hairline finish are mixed, but there are not many craftsmen who can distinguish between them and finish them at a high level.
In addition, the “thinness of the case” is also a part that is greatly influenced by the skill of the craftsman.
A watch that has become thinner and has thinner lugs is far from its original design, and the appearance becomes unbalanced.
It is a very precise work that brings the case closer to the original finish by eliminating scratches and dents while reducing the thickness of the case to the utmost limit.
Of course, there are cases where it is better to use the watch as it is, in order to emphasize the history of the watch and its original condition.
We look at each watch and judge whether it is best to finish it before selling it.
